Kelly's Beautiful Autumn Bridal Bouquet ~*

Kelly's Bridal Bouquet was an amazing combination of plants and flowers!

Floral Design by: Petal Pushers, Dripping Springs, Texas



 Teddy Bear Sunflowers, 3 Kinds of Orchids, Rununculous, Calla Lillies, 
Mums, Scabiosa Pods, Goldenrod, Dahlia, Billy Balls, Feverfew, 
Hypericum Berries, Cockscomb, Leucodendron, Astilbe,
 Silver Leaves and Eucalyptus!



The flowers were pressed, preserved, some were color-enhanced,
then mounted on an ivory background and
professionally framed in an 11x14 walnut frame.

Each flower is pressed, some taken apart first and reassembled later.  
The bride chooses how she wants her bouquet presented.  
In this case, she wanted the flowers, only 
and she wanted them to fill the frame with a small space around the edge.  
After the art is completed, it is vacuum sealed.

Teardrop Beveled Glass Ornament Keepsakes
made from extra orchids from the bouquet.

Thank you, Kelly, for trusting me with your gorgeous bridal bouquet!

Dekrisha's Surprise!


Instead of tossing her bridal bouquet, Dekrisha gave it
as a gift to the guest who had traveled the furthest
to come to her wedding, Dubai.


Her guest was so moved by the gift, that she wanted to have it preserved 
and returned to the bride as a surprise!  
She found me online and brought the bouquet to my studio.
She chose to have Dekrisha's bouquet pressed and preserved,
then mounted on a light green background and framed in barnwood!


When the art was completed, the bride and groom were told
to come to my studio, but did not know why.
Imagine Dekrisha's surprise when she realized that the bridal bouquet
she had given as a gift, had been preserved and returned
to HER as a gift!

Here is a closer look at the bridal bouquet of White Tulips,
Ranunculous, Orchids, Stephanotis, Hydrangea, Lilly of the Valley,
Light Green Hydrangea and Rosemary Leaves.

She also chose 4 Scrapbook Squares. 
These are small 2" square pieces of artmade from bits of left over flowers
that can be used for scrapbooking or for magnets.


Thank you, Jane! It was delightful to be a part of Dekrisha's surprise!

Rachel's Sweet, Soft Bridal Bouquet ~

Floral Design by Linda at Breathtaking Blooms, Austin, TX

Rachel's Beautiful Bouquet included Pink Roses,
White Lizianthus, Ranunculous, Queen Ann's Lace,
Carnations, Freesia and Pink/White Alstromeria.

 All of Rachel's flowers were pressed, preserved,
and arranged around her wedding invitation.
The little pink rose petal hearts in the top corner
were found deep inside the pink roses. 
The flowers were mounted on a navy blue background, 
which picks up the blue in the invitation and provides the perfect backdrop
for the soft, subtle shades in the flowers! 

The art was professionally framed in a bright white 11"x14" frame.



 Here are are a couple of pics that will give you a closer look.
Notice the bits of lace?  They were one piece wrapped around the stems
of the bouquet and came from the wedding dress of the Mother of the Bride!
(I love that)



Balloon-Shaped Beveled Glass Ornament
Made from a Pink Rose, an Alstromeria Blossom
and a bit of Queen Ann's Lace!

Stephanie's Beautiful Country Bouquet ~

Gorgeous Bridal Bouquet of Country Roses, Regular Roses, 
Bush Roses, Anemone, Stephanotis, Silver Artemsia Leaves, 
and some of the most beautiful Lizzianthus I've ever seen!

Floral Design by: Sherri Jentsch, Blumen Meisters, New Braunfels, TX
 
Pressed Garden took each blossom apart, 
pressed them, color enhanced some items, 
then arranged the flowers just as Stephanie carried them.
Stephanie opted for a Country Barnwood Frame for her Bridal Bouquet Art!
Now her bridal bouquet is an heirloom! 

Up close, you can see the amount of detail in the art.
Do you see the hidden hearts?
I found those petals hidden down deep in her roses!
